Hello everyone. First let me thank you all for your kind birthday wishes. I had a wonderful one but the weather was crappy on that day.

And now I have an Facebook fanpage where you can drop by and like my stuff. Iīll post there more WIPīs in the future then here. You can find my FB here: www.facebook.com/allan.hotzelThank you all in advance.

Hello everyone Itīs been a while since my last entry so I thought itīs about time to make a new one. As first I hope you all had a wonderful start in the new year. The second thing is that Iīve changed my username . I know you guys knew me all as SilentDeath007 but it was never my favorite choice. Now I am Angelstorm-82 . And I changed it because my premium membership is expireing soon so I had to do this... at least .

I hope everyone is doing fine. I am very busy atm and I had not much time to draw but I promise my Master Chief is almost done and then ready to post .

Only if you really want it: A commission on the size (19,5" x 27" / 50 x 70 cm)

(19,5" x 27" / 50 x 70 cm) 800 / $1000

Will take at least a few months to finish so if you want it on this size you´ll have to wait a bit .

General informations

This applies to all offers.If you accepted a commision you´ll also get some progress shots from me via e-mail for free so you can see how your commissioned piece takes shape.As I mentioned before I´ll only accept PayPal as payment.

Wow it´s over a half year ago since my last Journal entry. Well I want to thank you all for your awesome birthday wishes. You overwhelmed me with them. You may noticed that I turned 30. It´s just a number. I feel as young as ever . I had a nice party with lot´s of presents this time (which were packed on a sadistic way btw ).

Haven´t worked much on my Black Widow drawing but I guess I´ll be able to finish it soon.

Time to update my journal. It´s been several months ago since my last one .

Well this year is almost over (again) and I guess I am able to do one last big awesome piece of art before the year ends .

If you like you can guess what I am drawing now . Here´s one hint for you. It´s a Final Fantasy XIII drawing again. But this time a very difficult one with a lot of details and stuff. Will take me at least a month.Maybe you can guess my drawing and you can win a little feature in my next Journal .

On the other side I am on Facebook since several months now but I´ll try to use it more in the future. If you like to add me here is MY FACEBOOK

Today I am 29 years old. I always say it´s just a number but in only one year I´ll become 30 . No! I am not to old for this shit!

Well I have to thank you all for you kind birthday wishes so far and i appreciate every single one.

But now i want to give you a little riddle .Who can guess it right can win a one year DeviantArt subscription or an equal amount of points if he/she likes this more .The riddle refers to my current drawing. Who can guess it right based on my hints (which stand below) can win this prize.

You can take a look on my WIP here: silentdeath007.deviantart.com/…I hope that will all works well with this piece because I´ll try out some different things. Oh and I´ll use my new Derwent coloursoft pencils for this drawing.

Hey guys it´s been a little while since my last Journal entry so here is a little update.

I want to ask you something about digital artworks this time. But as first a little explanation from me. The reason is that I made in 2008 a few digital artworks. I was curious about this stuff and bought me a wacom bamboo graphic tablet and worked a bit with the digital media. As drawing program I used my crappy PS elements but it was enough for me as a beginner. It made a lot of fun the first time. I drew a sketch, scanned it and started with the colouring procedure in PS. Later I tried it completely in PS. But after some good pictures it became boring to me. I found there was no real challenge for me as an artist. With PS ( or an other good paint program ) you have unlimited possibilitys with layers, brushes, filters etc. The only challenging thing was the sketch but the rest became boring to me. I had the feeling that learning how to work with a computer program is not that what I wanted. The other thing was that these drawings are only stored on my PC. I cant frame them and hang them on my wall until I print them out or i have to watch it on my PC. I got disappointed about this media very fast and returned to the traditional media as how you know it today. Or to put it in a sentence: It was not that what I was hoping for it.

This was my personal experience with the digital media.

My question to you is: Are you interested in seeing some of my digital artworks?

Last but not least this Journal is not against digital art or artists in general. There are really a lot of skilled artists out there who can handle this media as well as traditional and I admire their skills. It shows only my personal experience.

Long time ago since my last Journal entry. But I want to tell you some art related changes in the new year. In this year I will finish my last graphite pencil portrait and I guess I will be able to post it at the end of this month ( hopefully before christmas ). Next year I will try to focus more on coloured works and own stuff and less on graphite works. This means that I will draw less as this year and less in graphite. But this has no influence on commissions . I´ll also try to make a "summary of my art" photo and post it here at the end of the month too.

And sorry for my latest Avatar changes . I always wanted a new one but I don´t liked the Matrix Avas. Finally I was able to make a good one. I guess I´ll keep it for a while.

Last but not least I want to thank you all very much for your incredible support of my art (features, faves, comments etc.).

I came across this question after I made my Influence Map which can be seen here fav.me/d2zejtuI remembered the time where I drew a lot of Star Wars stuff. In this time I was very interested ( and still am )in the art behind the SW movies and I bought all art books to the new SW movies. And my biggest wish in this time was to be part of the concept art crew of Star Wars. Damn, I would like to be there at that time. I was fascinated by all these amazing artworks which were created for the movies and my biggest wish at this time was to be an concept artist.

What is/was your biggest art related wish? I would like to read your wishes.

PS: And yes my Prince of Persia fanart is almost done. I don´t messed it up yet . It should be done in a few days .

A big sorry about my inactivity on dA lately but My PC was broken down and today I got finally my new desktop PC.Had a lot of trouble last week. But now it´s all fine again . Haven´t started with my Prince of Persia artwork yet but soon. I´ve lost some of my latest datas and I´ve to recover them all now . I´ve lost also some of my latest scans of my artworks. Now I´ve to re-scan them all . That is the problem if your PC decides for "sudden death" ! I still need to find out what´s broken there.

Finally you can see me how I draw hair www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RTSgZ… don´t worry. You´ll see it much closer after a few minutes .Quality should become better soon and sorry for the bad angle of my hand . Hope it´s ok anyway . My PC was a real bitch this time. He's crashed three times in an attempt to convert the video . At least it worked on my notebook .

My written tutorial with many illustrations will come soon .So Stay tuned .

And thank you all for your incredible support of my "Hidden Beauty" drawing

Some Features of some of my Idols here on dA. Entirely traditional works.

The group needs your help to get back it´s super group status. started a donation pool on her page. It would be great If you could donate some points even it is just one single point. If you can´t donate points you could write an Journal entry to spread the message .

Thanks in advance .

The other thing is that I got a DD a few days ago . Maybe some of you noticed that already .My "The Arrival" drawing got it I need to continiue this soon.

Last but not least I have to say that my newest work makes good progress and I should be able to finish it very soon. The hair tutorial will follow a bit later.
